The “Dada Post” gallery was founded in 2008 on the initiative of Howard McCalebb, a sculptor and active figure on the international art scene. It is located in the Berlin – Reinickendorf district, in the former König Smoked Fish Factory complex. The one hundred year-old business was transformed into exhibition, performance and studio spaces for artists and is easily recognized by its large smokestacks. The gallery became the major driving force of the development of the local art-scene in the local district of Reinickendorf.
